## Intended Use

The Equinoxe Shoulder System is indicated for use in skeletally mature individuals with degenerative diseases or fractures of the glenohumeral joint where total or hemi-arthroplasty is determined by the surgeon to be the preferred method of treatment. - The cemented primary humeral stem, long/revision stem, fracture stems, and all Equinoxe glenoids are intended for cemented fixation. - The press-fit humeral stems are intended for press-fit applications but may be used with bone cement at the discretion the surgeon. - The reverse humeral components are intended to be used in cemented applications or in revision cases when the humeral component is well-fixed/stable, as deemed by the orthopaedic surgeon. - Humeral Heads are intended for use in cemented and press-fit applications.

## Device Story

The Exactech Equinoxe Laser Cage Glenoid is a shoulder prosthesis component used in total shoulder arthroplasty. It consists of an Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) body molded onto Ti-6Al-4V peripheral pegs and a central cage. The metal components are additively manufactured using direct metal printing (DMP) technology. The device is implanted by an orthopaedic surgeon in a clinical setting to replace the glenoid surface of the shoulder joint. It is intended for cemented fixation. The device functions as a mechanical bearing surface to restore joint mobility and reduce pain in patients with degenerative joint disease or fractures. It is provided sterile for single use.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included porous structure characterization, glenoid fixation, peg shear resistance, peg pull-off, and peg bending fatigue. Bacterial endotoxin testing was performed in accordance with USP <161>, USP <85>, and ANSI/AAMI ST72.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: UHMWPE body, Ti-6Al-4V peripheral pegs and central cage. Manufacturing: Additive manufacturing (direct metal printing). Form factor: Four sizes, four augment angle options. Fixation: Cemented. Sterilization: Provided sterile for single use. Conforms to recognized performance standards for shoulder joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prostheses.

## Regulatory Identification

A shoulder joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a humeral resurfacing component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a glenoid resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

## NON-CLINICAL TESTING

The Equinoxe Laser Cage Glenoid has been tested in the following test modes:

- · Porous Structure Characterization
- · Glenoid Fixation
- · Peg Shear Resistance
- · Peg Pull-Off
- · Peg Bending Fatigue

Bacterial endotoxin testing was conducted in accordance with USP <161>, USP <85>, and ANSI/AAMI ST72 to ensure the proposed Laser Cage Glenoid meets recommended limits per FDA's Guidance Document Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket (510(k)) Submission for Devices Labeled as Sterile.

## SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSION

Based on consideration of indications for use, technological characteristics, biocompatibility of the proposed devices, and results of non-clinical testing, it was concluded the Equinoxe Laser Cage Glenoid demonstrates substantially equivalence to the predicate devices.
